Bilal Powell Scouting Report
| |
Bilal Powell – Louisville (HT: 5-10⅜ – WT: 204)
Combine 40: DNP – Position Rank: 12 of 35
 |
Positives: Above average speed… Tremendous short area burst makes him difficult to contain… Has great balance, very difficult to knock down, bounces off tacklers… Runs hard, a very aggressive runner… Came out of nowhere to win the starting job as a senior and set the Louisville single season rushing record with 1405 yards on only 229 carries, a startling 6.1 yards per carry… Patient runner, does a great job reading his blocks… Ideal fit for a zone blocking scheme… Had a very good week at the Senior Bowl.
Negatives: Cuts are a little too upright and slow at the line of scrimmage… Not very creative in the lane… Has an upright running style, absorbs a lot of big hits… Has small hands and leaves the football exposed far too often… Dealt with a lingering knee injury in 2010… Only has one year of solid production, will have to prove that 2010 wasn’t an aberration… Likely to settle in as a change of pace back at the next level with his upright running style, won’t be able to carry the load… Just an average receiver out of the backfield… Is left handed and heavily favors carrying the ball in his left arm, likes to run to the left side of the field and doesn’t always change hands when he goes to the right side of the field, leaving the ball exposed for defenders… Did not work out at the combine.
